My father never gave me any advice because he is of a different generation when men kept their feelings to themselves. It caused me some grief growing up but I can honestly say that I love and admire my father very much and am always honored when people tell me we are alike.

He taught me to play chess. The moves, the consideration that goes into each play, the strategy, the analytical thinking, the concentration... all of those things have been invaluable to me. The first time I won I felt like crying. It was like the passing of the torch to the nest generation...

This too shall pass. It always helps me feel better. And to always get back up on the horse when you fall off. I have a huge amount of respect for my Dad, having built a very successful business from the ground up, working hard both mentally and physically, and still doing it today. He doesn't even have to now, but he does, no matter what. I try hard to be the same way when it comes to what I do and when it comes to working with him in his business.

The best advice from my dad (rest his soul) is:righty-tighty- lefty-loosey. I will always remember this in order to loosen or tighten things. My dad was very humorous to me and found humor in everything. Even when he suffered from a major stroke, which left him unable to speak. He would still laugh at things.

"Never allow yourself to be bullied. If other kids are beating up on you, make a tight fist and hit them as hard as you can, right on the bridge of the nose, preferably in front of a lot of other kids. If you do this right, it will be the first and the last fight you ever have to get into..."
